_>•~*X*~July 2015 Mummies-to-be!!!~*X*~•<_

Great thinking Loretta I like that idea :)

Hope all of you ladies are well today

I had a great lie in till 8am this morning thank you to my little one then realised that the clocks had changed lol silly me ha ha

I had a fab day yesterday with friends at our spa day
Left at 8:30am yesterday morning and got back at 10:30pm last night
I didn't need any rocking to sleep last night lol
My friends treated me to a baby bump massage it was lovely she didn't have get some knots out my shoulder and back most relaxing 55 mins of my life lol

Everyone had a fab day yesterday unfortunately I ended up having to make a complaint before leaving which I was saddened to do

The pool area was red hot at the spa it has all the treatment rooms sauna etc round it so only adds to the heat and the chlorine smell was quiet overpowering
(Being pregnant you can only use the pool and warm showers no treatment rooms sauna etc)
After a short time I started to get a bit of a headache probably from the heat and smell so as everyone is told drink lots of water from the dispensers to stay hydrated
I walked over the the water dispenser at the pool side to find the cups had ran out
So I walked all the way back to reception to inform them that there were no cups and not only my pregnant self but others were wanting water
She said she would ring through and get someone on it straight away
So walked back to the pool side sat and waited.... And waited.... And waited
After 20 mins I thought sod this and walked all the way to the gym area which had another water dispenser outside drank 3 cups of cold water I was gasping and then grabbed a handful of cups too
Walked back to the pool (still no cups) saved some for my friends and left the rest of the cups on the dispenser
They lasted about 2 mins before they were gone again

10 mins later we were getting ready to go up for lunch so on our way I called back past reception and the same lady was sat there to which I said
Remember me? I came to you 30 mins ago to inform you that the cups had ran out near the pool side!
I waited 20 mins before I myself walked all the way to the gym area and got myself a drink and a cup and other people cups so you may need to replace the gym ones now too!
I am disgusted that I have had to wait over 20 mins for a cup before having to go and source my own at 26 weeks pregnant!!!
She was gob smacked to say the least

I wrote my complaint before leaving so will see if there are any apologies or outcomes of it this week

Love that Loretta, I've done mine this morning :)

Oooh, washing baby clothes, cute! I want to wait til we have a dryer sorted so they dry all soft.

Glad your spa day was lovely Laura, even with the cup fiasco. How hard is it to put some cups out?!

I know I'm lucky that my biggest problem right now is my skin but grrr!
It was really dry so I got a richer moisturiser and now that is causing spots. It's like I have to choose between dry patches or spots, I don't want either :(
 
Girls please tell me exactly what pelvic floor excercieses I'm meant to be doing? I know which muscles I'm meant to work but not sure how many set or for how long? X
 
I'm currently doing 1 set of 20 3 times a day hun
So it goes squeeze and hold for ten seconds and rest for 5 seconds 10 times
Then 10 squeeze rest squeeze rest for 10 times

The app can be changed to longer rest in between or shorter but I'm finding these ok at the moment
Hope that helps x
 
Anyone planning on having a baby shower? When should you have it? I was thinking beginning of June or is that too early?x
 
Thanks girlies!

Twink I'm having mine on 16th June, any later we will be a.huge and b. babies might come early? I want to not be too big so I don't enjoy it?! X
 
Haven't put any thought to a baby shower as yet. I'm more inclined towards getting a few friends together for afternoon tea or a picnic, to be honest!

Had a productive day today. between us we did laundry, sorted clothes to make the maternity stuff easier to access and hide the things I can't wear for a while, cleaned the bathroom, vacuumed, and even found some 'us time' :)

I've decided that I've been letting myself get away with eating more junk food than necessary. My meals are always healthy, and I'm getting plenty of fruit and veg, but snacking too much on sweets and rubbish. Time to be a good girl.
 
I didn't have any intention of having a baby shower, but my friends have organised one for me, I couldn't be more excited!!! It's on 9th May which I think is too early, but I can only assume this was the only date they could do for some reason, only 6 weeks away!! :shock: xx
 
So, there was this one time I was walking along my floor in this hotel, when this random dude comes up and starts shouting about his exercise bike and how he needs to sell it. Apparently it gave him pelvic aches whenever he rode it. Like, I don't even... Whatever, right? So I go to the next floor down, where there's one of those peaceful exercise pools. Awesome! Except when I go to get into the exercise pool, I slip on the wet floor and bust a pelvic bone.
Now I'm in bed in this back-wing top-floor long-forgotten hotel room, wondering how the heck I'ma get any exercise done in this stupid pelvic cast, and thinking about how this entire story is complete crap, but it should sure get a bunch of ladies sittin there swearing for the next two hours over all the pelvic, floor, exercises they now have to do.

Much loves :) xx

Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a nice weekend.

Congrats to those of who you are now officially in double-digit days. My DDD day is tomorrow :)

Laura, gorgeous bump!

I've been terrible with my pelvic floor exercises. I've got no excuse as I work in gynae and share an office with urogynae nurses who teach pelvic floor exercises! I need to get an app or something as I always forget. Great idea to remind each other!

Hi Lacey :wave: Good to see you back. Hope you're doing well. Must've been lovely to have your parents over.

I haven't put too much thought into a baby shower yet but I think I'll probably have a small get together with my family and close friends. Maybe in early June.

Claire, hope you're feeling better now?

I haven't heard anything about anyone leaving, was it a July mummy??

xx
 
Morning! Kwarbee, we have to do our exercises every time we read; pelvic, floor or exercises anywhere...

Claire it kicked off because of the poster 'Made the fatal mistake of consulting Google' in second tri, I haven't got involved but it seems to have got rather heated and out of hand. Sad that someone now is leaving because of it xx
 
Feeling alot better now babe thanks! Although back at work after a week off isnt so fun :(
finished the nursery though and i am in love!!!!!! :)

hope your all well
yeah i saw what went on - sad to think people in such a tight community would argue and cause such drama! Glad im not involved!

So whats everyone got planned this week??
:)

PELVIC FLOOR EXERCISES :)
 
I won't be baby showering, not a fan of being centre of attention. Fingers crossed my mum took notice when I told her not to organise one!

I saw all the arguing in that thread too, bit daft really.
Everyone has opinions, if you don't agree just ignore it. Never really understand why people feel the need to keep pushing stuff, especially with strangers.
 
It's all kicking off again :shock: I'm staying well out of the way :whistle: il use the forum for what it's intended, not a slanging match! At least our lovely July mummy thread is plodding along nicely :)

Anyway, moving on....

I have been trying to make an effort with the pelvic floor exercises since this weekend, does anyone else feel slightly uncomfortable doing them? Silly, but I'm not sure I'm doing them right? Lol.

Glad you are feeling better Claire, pants being back at work though! This is my last day off, before I start a 10 day stint tomorow :roll:

Xx
 
Oh my god!!! Just SEEN my bump move for the first time, incredible! Took my breath away for a moment, how amazing!!! :love: xx
